As an outstanding representative of the Slam, even though roddick has been retired for many years, his die-hard fans still pay great attention to his every move. Andy's news was also frequently reported, far more than his contemporaries Hewitt and Safin.
Counting carefully, there are only a few reasons:
1, Americans have a big mouth
If a star doesn't want to be famous, then the media or journalists don't get any news. Like former Manchester United football star Scholes, the low profile makes people ignore the existence of the midfield master. He didn't have an agent, and the carry-on bag he used was an ordinary plastic bag.
And our cannon, the recent news is quite a lot. The way to maintain the lead against Djokovic is to retire early;
There are also friends Federer who have loved and killed each other for many years, and many voices have mentioned his good friend many times.
2, the experience of serving the plate is tragic enough
Roddick reached five grand slam finals in his career to win a championship, and the singles Grand Slam final winning rate is in the historical ranking, so far with the last place.
And the plates he served were actually given by Federer, three Wimbledons and a US Open, and they were still in different years. In particular, the classic long-term showdown in 2009 finally failed in the case of leading the way and suffered a crash.
Since then, Roddick seems to have lost his soul and never reached the final four of a Grand Slam again. Such a dramatic career and ending is destined to make the fans feel a little pity for him. Therefore, he also received a lot of love.
3. Healthy image and humorous demeanor
Although not a big handsome guy in the strict sense, the sunny and healthy temperament of Americans is still deeply popular. At the same time, his humorous words and deeds are self-contained, as can be seen in the ridicule of Djokovic.
Recently, Roddick has commented on the two veterans who have been fighting on the pitch since their opponents of the year: Roger or Rafa return to the field every time when they confirm that they are 100% healthy and well-prepared, thus retaining their peak level until the most critical moment.
People have to choose, two veterans to play at this age, there should be almost some, the need is the icing on the cake, and give up some at the same time it is possible to gain in other fields.
On the other hand, Roddick, he was a little remorseful. He admits to his insecurities after injury and fears that staying away from the field for too long will lose his competitiveness on the pitch.
In the end, Roddick chose to say goodbye to his career at a young age. Just think, if he had made more reasonable arrangements for his training intensity and schedule, would he still be able to see him and Federer falling in love and killing each other? (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
